Testing Week

Dear Readers,

This week has been filled with many a test for me here at BYU. On Tuesday, I took a Physical Science test that wasn't that bad, to be quite honest. There were thirty multiple choice questions followed by an essay that was really just a short answer. As of now, I have a 93% because of the multiple choice. We'll find out what my essay score is later. Hopefully it will raise it overall to a 94%.

Yesterday I took the Aural Skills exam. What is that, you say? Well, my friends, it is the exam equivalent to the AP Music Theory Examination. The difference is about $80 and 2 hours. Haha, I went and paid $5 and spent half and hour listening to a tape that was quizzing me and guess what?!...I PASSED! Now, I can audition for the College of Fine Arts and hopefully start participating in various music groups around BYU. Yeah, yesterday was a pretty good day(not quite as good as monday).

Today I am taking another music exam, but this time for my Music 101 class. I don't think it will be too hard, but we'll see. It's all about the first 8 chapters or so of our book.

Wish me luck with that test and good luck to all those BYU students taking exams in the very cool testing center at the Grant Building. I rather enjoy testing there. :)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
